The Troubles - was literally a rebellion violently suppressed... for 3 decades. Let alone all of the Unionists are staunch monarchists and were tightly linked to government institutions. I wasn't comparing anything to anything. You thi

Depends on what you measure. Hypothetically - a diesel BMW m3 may cost the same as a Camaro with a V8 engine, but what's the point of talking what engines they have... if you are purchasing these items for other reasons.

1) That's a very easy one to dispute - Right Sector has 0 seats in parliament now. Nationalists were losing support consistently in Ukraine. 2) Azov battalion - indeed had been formed with a few neo-Nazis, when Ukraine was literally is

None of these actually address the statements above. You're trying to derail this, by providing links that aren't in direct contradiction to the statements.

Yandex is owned by one of Putin's pocket oligarchs and all of the management has been replaced by staunch loyalists, long time ago. This isn't "guilt by association". Yandex is part of the Russian government structure. I

They're all of the above plus brainwashed and with a very common revanchism sentiment. Basically it's not hard to sell Nazis in Ukraine and "brotherly nation, that needs our help" narrative in Russia. The foundations are
